Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Don't mean to shitpost or hijack your thread here, but does anyone else find the subject and theology of Christianity boring as hell?
The history is ok, mainly because its heavily tied in with European history, but aside from the crusade Christ stuff puts me right to sleep.

Whereas North Germanic Pagans and Druids and Roman Paganism I find super fascinating

Am I just conditioned because I grew up in a Christian biased world?

>>2848791
Personal taste I guess.

>>2848791
>North Germanic Pagans
Trash tier. The only person they could possibley appeal to is germanicucks and American mongrels
>Druids
Alright I guess fairly limited, gets btfo by romans. Not much to really say.

Him surviving the attempt wouldn't change much. If there wasn't an attempt in the first place, that would be different.

Do people actually question the Nazi view towards Slavs? It's known how they were viewed.

Watch the city burn. There is nothing I could do about it.

However, I would take a boat and ask the Spanish crown to fund my expedition to sail west.

Dress up as a turk and hide in my house until the Ottomans have entered the city so I can join in on the raping and the looting.

It is in your own self interest to act well towards others, because it is in the best interest of others to punish those who act against said others' interests.

>>2848240
In this case, it is in your own best interest to cheat (acting bad towards others) every time you know you won't be discovered and you will get away with it. You can also expect others to do the same, thus living a life of paranoia, as everyone would.
Further, groups that can't defend themselves, such as minorities, would be pray for others. They don't pose a threat, since it is in the best interest of my group to stick together, finding security in our numbers, and we can exploit and butcher that other, smaller group. This would be ethical in your ruleset.

>>2848257
>You can also expect others to do the same, thus living a life of paranoia, as everyone would.

You just refuted your own first argument. Is that sort of life in my best interest? No. Is it in anyone else's best interest? No. Hence the social contract to be decent, even when you could get away with cheating. Sure it's tenuous, and relies on a certain level of indoctrination (which religion certainly does a decent job of providing) due to many people not grasping the long view, but it still is demonstrably, materially, objectively better to construct such a system.

As to the destruction of minorities, that's a bit of a stupid thing to bring up as a weak point of secular ethics to be honest, because the rule in religious ethics is generally to persecute minorities. But regardless, most of the influence in any given aspect of a country resides in a minority, eg most of the wealth resides in the hands of less than 5% of the population in any given country, university degrees are held by a tiny portion of the population, clergy makes up a similarly tiny percent, and so on. Essentially, all the people that do the most essential things to keep the country running (or at least keep the country stable) belong to some form of minority, which has probably experienced persecution in the past. We've seen what happens when educated minorities are persecuted, driven out, or destroyed, and it is not pleasant for the majority that did the destroying. Thus it is better for everyone to work to destroy the tendency of majorities to destroy minorities.

Didn't the Cherokee built semi-permanent settlements all over their territory?

I'm no expert on the subject but their villages seemed in my opinion too complex to be merely temporal refuge. Makes sense you'd built them out of wood if you live in the middle of the forest tho.

>>2847484
they had to much land and so few people that staying in one spot rather then following herds was stupid. Cities are centers for trade and it's hard to set one up when the next large group of purple live so fucking far away

>>2847504
I think they did have settlements that I think are referred to as mounds, but just like you said, "Semi-permanent" I'm meaning permanent in more of a sense like Cuzco, which was continuously inhabited for hundreds of years before Spaniards even found it.
However, I sure ain't an expert either. I could be completely wrong, and they lived there for hundreds of years too.

>>2847513
That could explain it for the prarie Indians who relied so heavily on Bison, but what about the Cherokee? They relied more heavily on plants and fruits than animals. That's not to say they didn't hunt, they certainly did, but they didn't follow herds.

>Sorry to keep referencing Cherokees, but they are the ones native to where I live, and they are also just a generally well-known group

At the beginning of the war and basically up to Midway the Japanese Navy had more Carriers and Ships then the Americans. If they had won at Midway, the US would have had almost to no carriers left and no bases in the Pacific. It is tough coming back from that, since now Japan can begin digging in.

I'm not Orthodox myself but I'm fairly confident that they support Luther on things he said that can only apply to Rome specifically but reject the things that could be applied to their church. For example an Orthodox would probably agree with Luther that the Vatican is corrupt but there is no way they would have a positive view of Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide.

>>2846842
Orthodox isn't Sola Scriptura?

>>2846859
No, they believe in (((holy tradition))) aka enshrined cultural practices that have nothing to do with Jesus. The thing you always have to remember with Orthodox churches is that they are basically ethnic clubs so they're designed to preserve their cultural practices within their dogma.

I want something to take care of and love and I don't want to spend 10 years picking up dog shit in the streets. That's why. Also I want my pet to outlive me.

> there were no reliable methods of contraception for penile-vaginal sex
Romans used a herb that worked as birth control and the upper-classes often practiced family limitation. Later on family limitation would trickle to the lower classes who found large families too expensive and inconvenient and the birth rate among ethnic romans dropped considerably, they even practiced infanticide on unwanted babies.

>>2846314
You will have to spend 10 years picking up shit, vomit, dirty clothes, and other mess instead.

Your pet will have to bury you, then. Do you not care about its feelings?

1. Mexico was fighting other rebellions.

2. Santa Anna is the biggest asshole/idiot ever.

Santa Anna was too incompetent, read "The eagle and the Raven"

The Texans won one decisive engagement because of poor generalship by Santa Anna, allowing the bulk of his forces to be ambushed and routed, and Mexico wasn't in any state to resume the conflict afterwards because of internal discord.

At the time of the Texas Revolution there were other Mexican states in open revolt that required attention.
